'Romance Is A Bonus Book' is also released simultaneously with Netflix ... The power of Lee Jong Suk

'Romance Is A Bonus Book' will be broadcasted on the global platform Netflix.

According to an official of the broadcasting company on the 11th, the cable channel tvN new mini-series 'Romance Is A Bonus Book' (writer Jeong Hyun Jung, director Lee Jung Hyo) is being promoted simultaneously with Netflix. Previously, tvN dramas 'Secret Forest' (2017), 'Miss Shine' (2018) and '"Memories of Alhambra" which are on air were simultaneously released through Netflix.

This is solved by the power of the Korean Wave Star Lee Jong Suk. Lee Sang Suk and Shin Hye-seon, starring SBS's six-part drama "Hymn Of Death", which was airing last November, were also sold to Netflix as single-act play.

The Romance Supplement is a story about people who make books in the background of publishers. The tvN's drama, which is considered to be a romantic comedy masterpiece, is a work that has attracted attention from the planning stage with the cooperation of Writer Jung Hyun Jung, PD Lee Jung Hyo, and Music Director Nam Hye Sung. Lee Jong Suk, who returned to the mini-series in two years and Lee Na Young, who has returned to the drama field after nine years, are playing the lead roles.

'Romance Is A Bonus Book' will be broadcasted on tvN at 9 pm on Saturday, January 26, following the "Memories of Alhambra".

Couple stills ofLee Na-young(Runaway Plan B) andLee Jong Suk(While You Were Sleeping) have just been released. They already look so cute for their new drama,Romance Is a Bonus Book, the tvN rom-com about a love story that unfolds at a publishing company.

Lee Na-young plays a has-been star copywriter who is just too overqualified to become employed. Lee Jong Suk plays a cultural icon, who has made a name for himself in the writing community as a prodigy. He’s also known Lee Na-young’s character for years, and to her, he’s that “familiar dongsaeng.” Hmm… this drama is giving me seriousPretty Noona Who Buys Me Foodvibes now.

There’s been a lot of talk about this drama because it’s Lee Na-young’s comeback from her nine-year hiatus. To me, her most memorable works have actually been her movies. I’d definitely recommend healing melo filmMaundy Thursdayor transgender comedyLady Daddy, if you haven’t seen her before in anything.

Out of the many trendy actors of this generation, Lee Jong Suk seems like he would be a good match for her in her comeback project.

It’s happened multiple times (e.g.Pinocchio, W—Two Worlds), but I’ve seen that he has this ability to look as though he’s genuinely falling in love with his partners, and in the process, he lets us fall in love with the heroine alongside him.

Directed by Lee Jung-hyo (Life on Mars) and written byI Need Romanceseries writer Jung Hyun-jung,Romance Is a Bonus Bookis set to air beginning January 26 on tvN.

Korean actor Lee Jong Suk turned into an adorable fanboy in front of Lee Nayoung, his co-star and a woman of his dreams. On January 16, the production team of tvN's upcoming drama 'Romance Is a Bonus Book' dropped the video of Lee Jong Suk and Lee Na Young which contained the behind scenes of their filming site.

In the video, the drama's two protagonists (Lee Jong Suk and Lee Na Young) and the supporting actors were focusing on filming the teasers of their drama.

But Lee Jong Suk who was filming his first encounter with Lee Na Young at the library could not stop laughing because he was too shy to look directly into her eyes and do as what the script says―smiling at her.

Then, Lee Nayoung tried to help him relax by slightly slapping him on the back as a joke.

After a few times, Lee Jong Suk finally managed to finish shooting without laughing but his ears turned all red out of shyness by the time the director said, "Cut!"

The public's expectation toward their upcoming drama has skyrocketed since the way Lee Jong Suk looked at and behaved in front of Lee Na Young was unbelievably cute and made them want to catch up with every episode.

'Romance Is a Bonus Book' will cover the story between an ex-copywriter 'Kang Dan-e' (Lee Na Young) who used to be a hot shot back in the days and a genius writer 'Cha Eun-ho' (Lee Jong Suk) who also happens to be the youngest editor of all time. Meanwhile, the drama's first episode is scheduled to be aired on January 26.

I’ve been on a bit of a drama-hiatus (suffering from major withdrawals, actually), as my family underwent the upheaval of an international move. Now that I’m finally getting settled down, I’m SO ready to dive into some of the new dramas coming our way this month! I just saw the most recent teaser forRomance Is A Bonus Bookand my first thought was— What could be better than a drama about books and romance starring one of my top 10 actors, Lee Jong Suk? Answer: Absolutely nothing!

The story features Lee Jong Suk as Cha Eun Ho, a warm-hearted, genius writer and the youngest chief editor of his publishing company. Completing the other half of the OTP romance, is Lee Na Young as Kang Da Ni, a washed up copy-writer, who lies about her background in order to join the company.

My research didn’t turn up much about the actual plot, however. The writer for this drama is Jung Hyun Jung, author of theI Need Romanceseries. I’ve not seen any of those three dramas, but word has it from the other fangirls, that they were kind of hit and miss.

I enjoyed the way they depicted the shifting of emotions similar to the changing of the seasons. Perhaps this will be a more slow-paced story that allows us to focus on the relationship of our OTP and goes easy on the actual ‘drama’. Or maybe that’s just wishful thinking on my part!

What do you think drama fans, isRomance Is A Bonus Booktalking to you, or are you planning to pass by and leave this drama on the shelf?

Romance Is A Bonus Bookairs Saturday and Sunday, beginning Jan 26th, on TVN.
